Caught this last night and thought it was pretty good. I really liked the scene with Walter when he figured out what had really happend to Rosco's son. Rreally heartbreaking.
To think minutes before I thought Walter would finally get this elusive milksake recipe. Figured the guy was going to say he invented it for that small shop Walter used to love.![LOL](/images/smilies/lol.gif)
I like the akward interactions between Olivia and Peter as well. When we had last left them things were cold and slightly bitter (well for Olivia).
Put me in the camp that thinks something will happen from the milk-mix. So the consensus is that the milk incident was an unforseen consquence by the observer though? He was just trying to show Walter he could let Peter go and that he could be alright (?).

What the hell was up with Peter being on the phone to Walter back in the lab at the time of the accident, Peter lets Walter go, walks around the car to get the girl out, and Walter drives up? WTF?! That was literally 10 seconds!

They were supposed to be in Porter Square which is only about a mile from Harvard Square where the lab is. So the time frame (if you don't hit lights) isn't that unrealistic

I would give them the benefit of the doubt were Walter already in a car at least on the phone, but he wasn't. Just seems really odd for a show that wants the viewer to pay extra attention all the time.

So, I'm aboard with this show now. I watched the first couple of episodes of season 1, was uninterested as it was still MOTW-ish at the time, but later and later I kept hearing people rave about it, especially past season 1.
So, I got a new laptop, and it had Hulu Desktop app on it, and I was looking around and found Fringe, and started watching an episode, and got hooked. Of course, it was early season 3, but I kinda know about the arc from reading people's comments on the show, so I wasn't too lost. But, I've watched from 3.7 up to this one so far, and love it. I've already ordered the season 1 Blu-Rays and will be getting caught up soon.
It feels the sci-fi void that Lost left, but at least this show takes it's sci-fi roots and runs with it, while Lost tried to 'veil' them as much as possible.
